Moreover, the application client may also be such an independent client in the terminal device that can provide correction for the speech recognition result, which will not be limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in
At block 101, speech recognition is performed on acquired speech data to obtain initial text information.
The speech data is a speech signal acquired by a terminal device, which may be an original speech signal or a speech signal after noise elimination and feature extraction.
Specifically, the speech data may be acquired through a microphone, a speech input unit, or a recording unit of the terminal device. The terminal device includes, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal device (such as iPhone, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, etc.), a fixed terminal device (such as a desktop computer or a television, etc.) or a wearable device (such as, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, etc.).
The acquired speech data is preliminary recognized with a speech recognition algorithm to obtain the initial text information. The available speech recognition algorithm may be, but is not limited to, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) algorithm, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm, where the DNN algorithm is of a good classification ability, the LSTM algorithm is of a long-term memory ability, and the CNN algorithm can learn some invariant features in speech features. Furthermore, these three algorithms can be used in combination to obtain the initial text information.
At block 102, the initial text information is recognized and corrected by an NMT model to obtain a final text recognition result.
The NMT model is obtained by training known speech data, i.e., by automatically learning from a large amount of known speech data through neural network, thus allowing greatly improved text recognition and correction, and thereby obtaining the final text recognition result with high quality.
Specifically, the NMT model can be obtained as follows: performing speech recognition on the known speech data and taking recognized text information as source data; marking correct text information corresponding to the known speech data, and taking marked text information as target data; and training the source data and the target data to obtain the NMT model.
Specifically, the text information obtained by performing speech recognition on the known speech data and the correct text information are respectively segmented to obtain at least one word for an aligning process, and resulting aligned words are inputted into the NMT model for training and learning, thereby obtaining an NMT model with a text recognizing and correcting ability.
Afterwards, the initial text information is inputted into the NMT model, and the NMT model will correct incorrect words in the initial text information according to the text recognizing and correcting ability pre-learned.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial text information obtained by speech recognition is recognized and corrected with the NMT model, such that the final text recognition result is obtained with higher accuracy, thereby improving accuracy of the speech recognition.
Correspondingly, as shown in
At block 201, speech recognition is performed on acquired speech data to obtain initial text information.
At block 202, a text contained in the initial text information is segmented to obtain at least one word.
Specifically, the text contained in the initial text information can be segmented according to semantic analysis. For example, if the text contained in the initial text information is “I like the Baidu map”, then according to the semantic analysis, the text can be segmented into “I”, “like”, and “the Baidu map”.
At block 203, the at least one word is encoded into a dense vector by an encoder in the NMT model and the dense vector is decoded by a decoder in the NMT model so as to obtain the final text recognition result.
The NMT model includes the encoder and the decoder, both of which are obtained by training known speech data, i.e., by automatically learning from a large amount of known speech data through neural network, which allows the encoder and the decoder to learn some information in a recognized text and a correct text corresponding to the known speech data, such that the final text recognition result can be obtained based on the learned text information when using the NMT model to recognize and correct the initial text information, thereby improving the quality of text recognition greatly.
The dense vector is a vector where a ratio of non-zero elements to all elements is greater than a preset ratio (such as 90%), i.e., a vector having a larger proportion of non-zero elements.
Specifically, as shown in
In this embodiment, the text contained in the initial text information is segmented to obtain at least one word, the word obtained is encoded into the dense vector by the encoder in the NMT model and the dense vector is then decoded by the decoder in the NMT model, such that the final text recognition result is obtained with higher accuracy, thereby improving accuracy of the speech.
Correspondingly, as shown in
At block 301, speech recognition is performed on acquired speech data to obtain initial text information.
At block 302, a text contained in the initial text information is segmented to obtain at least one word.
At block 303, the at least one word is converted into a source hidden vector by the encoder in the NMT model.
The NMT model further includes at least one computing node, and the computing node is configured to convert the at least one word into the source hidden vector. Alternatively, the word processed by the encoder and the decoder included in the NMT model needs to pass through the computing node. Alternatively, the encoder and the decoder each include at least one computing node.
An example structure of the computing node is shown in
In this embodiment, the input data and output data for the encoder are different from that for the decoder. For the encoder, the input data x is a word, and the output data h is a source hidden vector. For the decoder, the input data x is a source hidden vector, and the output data h is a target hidden vector. Therefore, the source hidden vector can be obtained by inputting the input data corresponding to the encoder into the above computing node, and the target hidden vector can be obtained by inputting the input data corresponding to the decoder into the above computing node.
At block 304, the source hidden vector is inputted into the decoder in the NMT model, and a target hidden vector is outputted by the decoder in the NMT model.
At block 305, an attention mechanism hidden vector is determined based on the target hidden vector and the source hidden vector.
As attention mechanism has a great promoting effect on sequence learning tasks, data weighted conversion can be performed on encoded data by introducing the attention mechanism to the encoder of the NMT model, and/or weighted conversion can be performed on decoded data by introducing the attention mechanism is to the encoder of the NMT model, thereby effectively improving system performance of sequence vs sequence in a natural mode. Therefore, accuracy of text recognition can be further improved by introducing the attention mechanism into this embodiment.
Alternatively, a center position of the source hidden vector is outputted by the decoder in the NMT model, a source hidden vector of a word at at least one preset position is acquired according to the center position; an aligning weight is calculated based on the source hidden vector of the word at the at least one preset position and the target hidden vector, and a context vector is obtained based on the aligning weight; and the attention mechanism hidden vector is calculated based on the context vector and the target hidden vector.
A position near the center position can be selected as the preset position.
Specifically, as shown in
In addition, for further improving the accuracy of text recognition, the attention mechanism hidden vector can be input as a feedback into the decoder in the NMT model.
Specifically, the attention mechanism hidden vector at the current time t is used as the input for the decoder to calculate an attention mechanism hidden vector at a next time. As shown in
At block 306, the final text recognition result is obtained based on the attention mechanism hidden vector.
Specifically, the final text recognition result can be obtained by analyzing the attention mechanism hidden vector.
In this embodiment, the attention mechanism hidden vector is determined based on the source hidden vector outputted by the encoder and the target hidden vector outputted by the decoder, and the final text recognition result is obtained based on the attention mechanism hidden vector, such that accuracy of text recognition is further improved.
The application client may be a plug-in of a client provided in the terminal device and works cooperatively with a client for correcting a speech recognition result provided in the terminal device. The application client may also be a plug-in of an operating system of the terminal device, and works cooperatively with an application program for correcting a speech recognition result provided in the operating system of the terminal device. Moreover, the application client may also be such an independent client in the terminal device that can provide correction for the speech recognition result, which will not be limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.
